I'm having a difficult time figuring out what people are implying when they post about this video online. It wasn't used by the media to push any agenda. It's a performance piece of sorts. At 1:23 the girl's shirt says "I'M NOT MAKING A STATEMENT. JUST LOVE BIG TEXT!"

My guess is that this was intended to discredit reporting on the breakup of Egyptian protests in advance of that bloody action. Though, I don't understand the language or know anything about the original source, so who the hell knows about the original intent or even the date of production. Obviously the LiveLeak uploader had an agenda, seeing as how it was uploaded before the state of emergency was declared.

But I'll agree with MP3D. Don't believe everything you see in the media. Believe things that are reported widely by a variety of sources, especially first-hand reporting. The irony therein is that this is a single source third-hand report in which we're to believe a biased English translation and a time frame as our only context, so it's basically useless without some form of corroboration.

People (the majority of) don't have any clue what's really going on around them. But if you take the time to look you will need no convincing.
